Representative Text

1 Brother, has Christ redeemed you from sin?
Has He brought peace and comfort within!
Does not your heart with gratitude move,
Move you to speak of His wonderful love?

Refrain:
Witness for Jesus, witness today;
Tell how delightsome and bright is the way,
Witness that all your sins He forgave;
Witness that Jesus is able to save.

2 Sunshine is beaming bright on your way,
Blessings from heav’n attend you each day;
Mercy descends in streams from above,
Brother, O tell of His wonderful love. [Refrain]

3 Wondrously fair, the smiles of His face,
Preciously sweet His quickening grace,
O what a Friend in Jesus you have;
Tell all the world He is able to save. [Refrain]

4 Tell out the joy that thrills in your soul;
Sing out the praise, to heav’n let it roll,
Honor the Lord, your faithfulness prove,
Tell all the world of His wonderful love. [Refrain]
